Crosby, Stills & Nash

Ótimo álbum para viajar

Its getting to the point, where this album is not fun anymore.

Based on my first listen, Crosby, Stills and Nash’s self-titled debut album features the same song 14 times. It’s not that bad, but a little variety would have done this record a world of good. This makes it nearly impossible to single out individual tracks—the differences are simply too subtle. Instead, “Crosby, Stills and Nash” has turned out to be quite stylish easy listening. It’s fine as background music for driving, but a bit one-dimensional for focused listening.

I may get grief from a lot of people, but I'm just not a CSN (or CSN&Y) fan. I just find that whole style of music pretty boring, and I find this album boring as well. I definitely appreciate their songwriting and harmonies. Super talented. Just not my particular thing. A lot of the songs are familiar. Just nothing memorable for me.

久远的感觉 cannot feel it

What i like most about this album is that the songs are relaxing and easy to listen to. I had a lot of fun with many of the songs. The problem with this album is that nothing particularly stands out, but I think even the band knew this, because it seems like they've made it tame on purpose, and it kind of works. Cool stuff.

Relaxing album with some nice melodies and harmonies. Faves: Wooden Ships, Helplessly Hoping, Song with No Words

Rigtig fint album. Det vælter mig ikke ned af stolen, men jeg kunne sagtens finde på at sætte det på igen. 3.4 rundet ned til 3 stjerner***

Jeg kan jo godt lide det, men jeg er ikke til det - det bliver lidt for meget 'af en tid' for mig, og 'af den tid' synes jeg, der er så meget bedre. Det er noget Crosby, Stills & Nash selv var pinligt opmærksomme på og derfor erhvervede de sig Young. Det aner jeg ikke om er rigtigt, men det forestiller jeg mig. På trods af, at mit eget pointsystem er noget mere finmasket end det simple 1-5, der tilbydes, så er dette faktisk et album, der volder mig problemer. Mit hjerte siger 3 (og dermed >= 2.8), så siger mine ører mig <= 2.7. Det virker trivielt, men det er forskellen på 2 og 3 stjerner. Jeg lader tvivlen komme den anklagede til gode og ikke mindst bør Long Time Gone honorere den flotte, tredje stjerne. 2.8

Slightly better than I expected it to be. But, if you know CSN, you pretty much know what you're getting with this one.

Fav songs: Guinnevere, Long Time Gone

Nice enough album. Really liked the tracks "Long Time Gone", "Helplessly Hoping", and "Guinnivere". Needs more Neil Young.

Surprised by how pleasant it was, especially the ethereal quality of Guinevere and the surprising climax of the Suite which ends with some Cuban son mixed in.

Listens: 2 Standout Tracks: N/A Largely unremarkable. Not great, but not awful either. In one ear and out the other. Maybe if it had been a bit more jammy and off the cuff it would have resonated with me more.

Mellow harmonies. Folksy easy listening.

582/1001 2026.03.31

I found this really pleasant to listen to.

Helplessly Hoping was the stand out for me. Wasn't a fan of the album overall. 2.5/5. Raising to 3.

Beautiful, but bland.

It was pretty dull….but not offensive. 2.75

fire rock album, it was nice to see the contrast of both albums released in the same year. This was a lot more traditional compared to Frank Zappa's Hot Rats but just as emotion filled.

Sidney Crosby save me Sidney Crosby. Mother. Yeah ok this is good. Def gonna enjoy this bu also forget about it very soon. Yeah it’s cute and nice. Would listen to this by a lake in a hammock with some golden sun streaming with Tali. Mmm I can feel the late summer air and sun now. I wanna go to Marrakesh. Looking at the world through sunsets in your eyes is insane. This is lowkey the typa music I would expect Sidney Crosby to make. Yeah I mean just kinda boring Favourite: Marrakesh Express Least favourite: Wooden Ships

49# AA another country album. (wait is this folk? huh) only today i learned that neil young is part of this band for the next albums of them. Cmon, have some imagination for a band name other than pilling up your names. I'll compare this with Harvest which was the album of the day 2 days ago. With just 3 years apart from them (Harvest is from 1972) the difference is big on the production. This project doesn't have the strong single power that Harvest has. Interesting harmonies, it sounds good throughout. The two albums differ in genre, this is Folk the other is Country Rock and I have difficulty showing appreciation for country, but Harvest just goes besides that bias and captures with the interesting lyrics and Neil iconic melodies. This album has a bit of iconic melodies or harmonies, but it doesn't have that lasting impact or memory. A few sleepy tracks (like Lady of the Island), which i like, meditative in a sense, but really puts you in a state of numbness and i don't think they want that. This album is good to play when: you want to sleep, not a deep sleep but a nap, a 40 minute nap. Highlights: Suite; Wooden Ships Lowlights: You don't have to cry

Tuli jotenkin vahvat Boston-vibat paikoitellen. Aivan kiva levy oli kyllä ilman Neil Youngiakin.

I think they smoked too much pot and believed too many Arthurian legends ! Fun though

Feels Simon and Garfunkel, cool but forgettable.

The group provided lovely harmonies and a distinctive sound. It was nice listening to the album which launched their career.

I want to rate this higher as I should like this more than I actually do. Amazing harmonies but they don’t seem to elevate much beyond this. 3.25/5

I enjoyed the singles that came off this album, but the album has a hole just kind meh. It’s fine for a folk rock album, but it’s just not my style.

An OK album but it didn’t blow me away. Maybe it requires more listening

Pretty good album to chill with. I think it may even be enhanced if partaking in a certain herbal substance. But don’t do drugs, cos drugs are bad m’kay… Standout track - Marrakesh Express

Instruments: 8/10 Songwriting: 7/10 Vocals:5/10 Vocal lines are good, but it’s not my favourite style. Sounds outdated in my opinion. I really like vocal harmonies like Alice In Chains has. However, instruments are top notch.

I think this suffered from immediately following CCR as it shares a similar space but was just not as immediate. That's not to say I didn't enjoy it, it just lacked the immediate punch and it's one I think I'd have to spend more time with to really benefit from.

Didn 't hear it that much

On this listen, CSN struck me as a little boring. That can happen sometimes. It's perfectly pleasant.

Chill album to listen to while studying, but nothing special

Beautiful harmonies, cool 60s sound and just chill vibes in general. Some songs are more memorable than others

I don’t know. I guess it’s fine but every song has to do that “”tweedle, tweedle, sing in synch” thing. Guinevere is a very good song.

⭐⭐⭐- Tycker inte det är dåligt. Men det är för polerat och stämsången kan bli för mycket. Bäst är Helplessly hiping. Blir en svag 3a

After not really enjoying the Stephen Stills albums I've had as part of this project I really wasn't looking forward to this. But, I was pleasantly surprised. A decent folk rock album, though unlikely to be one of my favourites of the era.

Where is Neil? 3/5

j'ai écouté en jouant à lol ça passe mais bon c'est trop classique pour moi

ct ok en vrai

Classico classique rock

Pleasant but unmemorable compared to the CSNY stuff which has some classics

one iconic song does not make an album good

The Suite song opening this was the best one (do do do do do) and the rest was listenable, not unpleasant.

Not a huge folk guy, but this hits different. For one, "Suite: Judy Blue Eyes" is an all-timer. Other portions have some really nifty instrumentation that really sets a mood ("Marrakesh Express" "Wooden Ships"). Some of it's a little woo and boring for me, but I dig this album.

My heart sinks when I get something from the Neil Young extended universe, but I'll give it a go. After all, there's no actual Neil Young here. It's decent, folk with a merest hint of rock. Nice harmonies, but generally pretty antiseptic. Helplessly Hoping is a cut above the rest. It's wonderful and beautiful. Surprised me, made me glad I kept listening.

Simon and Garfunkel for straight people chanson préférée : Helplessly Hoping mentions honorables : moi qui les appelle « Stills, Crosby et Ash » sur Messenger comme une criss de loser ; Crosby's pussy facing the world vs. Stills' cock shame ; la partie where they go TUDUDUDUDUDUDU dans la première toune ; le keyboard LUGUBRE de Long Time Gone

Have I listened to this album before? No How familiar am I with this album? I don’t know any of these songs How do I feel about this artist? I like their hits but most of the songs I know have Young in them Favorite song(s)? Wooden Ships, Long Time Goodbye Overall Thoughts: I wanted to like it more than I did. With the exception of a few songs, it all kind of ran together. Parts of it were pretty boring. Maybe this kind of folk just isn’t for me, but I think Crosby, Stills, & Nash really benefit from Young coming in later. I’m giving it 3 stars, one for each man. If Neil Young were there I probably would’ve given it 4 stars

no me atrapó quizás porque no es un genero que acostumbro a escuchar

Pretty ggod

Chill album, easy to listen to.

The best version of the group i think with their best album. Marrakesh express blasts through pleasingly. Wooden ships is a clever poke at the Vietnam war. All in all time well spent. The self indulgent parts towards the end can be forgotten and forgiven

Nice and mellow. Liked it enough.

goed als achtergrond muziekje. ik heb het denk ik 3 keer op loop aan laten staan maar had het niet door. zegt genoeg

it's 3.5

Nice melodies which stand the test of time

What is it with albums named after the band? Better with Young.

Folk-rock isn't really my cup of tea, but i gotta admit that many songs and harmonies on this album are making a strong case to revisit all the greats. Helplessly Hoping is an amazing song, feel like i've heard it all my life but coulnd't place it on who mame it. Love the psychrock elements of the opener. Might be my entry to this genre.

Decent.

Very calm and chill. No standouts in particular. 5.2/10

Decent 3,5

I feel like I leave this review a lot, but this album was good, clean rock and roll. Nothing to dislike but nothing to get too excited about.

Kunne godt bruge lidt mere Neil Young. Men ret lækkert.

Great album Song I like: helplessly hoping, Everybody talking

This one is 3 stars

This had a very Beatles vibe. Idk whether I liked it. Gotta be 3 stars again

I have listened to this album so many times in my life. I even picked it just a few months ago. Though you'd think it would be a much higher rating than three. However, there was just something this time when I listened to it - how everything was the same, how everything was too lackadaisical, too sweet. As others note, could definitely use some Young. I don't know, I'm sure on another day I would give this a five as expected, but today it felt like a three.

Even in a sleep deprived state, pretty chill for an album, but not the greatest thing.

Nice veey good guitar I like!

i won’t remember it ever again

pretty nice. idk why they made the first song so long thou fav song: Marrakesh Express

Chill.

I love suite Judy blue eyes, and there are a couple other highlights (helplessly hoping, 48 bye byes), but the rest of this album ranges from boring to unlistenably plodding. 3.5

Tuve el pensamiento mientras lo escuchaba de "vaya, esto sí que es música"

1: Suite: Judy Blue Eyes 2: Teach Your Children 3: Everybody’s Talkin’

some really good songs but didn't floor me.

It’s soft dad music, but this worked on me It’s like Simon and Garf but the third harmony and extra instrumentation make it much more interesting to listen to. 3.5

250626 0:32 3.5

Chill

That was a nice surprise. During my teens and into adulthood I listened to the local classic rock radio station. They played a lot of Crosby, Stills & Nash so I was a little familiar with them. I even know that little trivia that Neil Young was a member before he left. This album is a decent introduction to their work. I don't know why I thought their work would be a little more upbeat. The album starts out nice then turns somber towards the middle to the end. This album will need to be listened to more before I can ultimately decide if I like it or not. Until then, it's getting a three. A solid album.

A pleasant folk album, with lovely harmonies, but nothing much to write home about in all truthfulness. First two tracks and Wooden Ships are possibly the best.

Nice sound, good harmonies, really liked the last track "teach your children well", which was a bonus on my version and not on the original release.

I thought I knew CS&N but this album has made me think that I must know someone else! I listened to this over about 4 days so specifics are difficult to remember. Overall it's a pleasant album to listen to, but nothing stunning.

I love ´Helplessly Hoping’ which has been a staple of my ´top tracks’ playlist for some time. The other tracks didn’t quite have the same impact on me but it was a solid effort.

I think this ranks somewhere around where Boston does where there are a handful of really good songs and some just good songs. Nothing bad. I'd say a solid 3.

Good

Nice, but ultimately dull.

Similar to the one with Young. Folky

Apple Music suggested Simon and Garfunkel as a follow up. I didn’t notice the change.

I can’t think of anything I particularly liked, but I can’t think of anything I particularly disliked either.

Bit folksy for me - would probably be great if you like that kind of thing but otherwise chill album.

Interesting album that captures the vibe of the time nicely. Love their harmony vocal work, but overall just to folky and monotonous to me. Wooden ship, helplessly hoping and long time gone are the standout tracks for me. A lot of filler with the rest imo.

I know I'm in the minority, but I think this has its moments - Wooden Ships, especially

3.5/5⭐️

Legends, so much from them and Young in here

3.5

Yeah, the vocal harmonies are sometimes amazing, but I can't imagine anyone finding any of the songs here exciting or even interesting. It's just middle of the road dad rock of the blandest variety.

You know those albums that you know are objectively good, but you don't want to listen to them? I can't find a bad thing to say about this album. But if someone asked if I had the opportunity to listen to it again, I wouldn't care at all.

this old blokes are ok i guess

It was nice.

This was...fine! They have great voices that harmonize well together, and it's very pleasant to listen to. Maybe just not for me. 6/10.

Probably not one I would return to often for a complete listen but I looooved Pre-Road Downs and Long Time Gone

This is the soundtrack of after-church car rides with my dad. There’s a unique nostalgia I get from Crosby, Stills & Nash. This record starts off with epic Suite: Judy Blue Eyes and later includes the alliterative masterpiece Helplessly Hoping. The middle is a lot of, now considered cliché calls to leave the stressors of life (read: work, public service, and haircuts) and other counterculture tropes about hiding drugs and ingesting questionable berries while transcending planes of existence. There’s so much more bluesy psychedelia than I anticipated. Admittedly, the constant overlapping of vocals does start to grate on me, but I think that’s a me thing; I can only take so much organ and swirling vocal harmonization before I need a break. A lot of modern heady folk music can draw its roots to this album. I also can’t ever help but to yen for some “Y” when I listen to CSN. Hide your drugs and get in, folks. The late 60 had something for everyone. I appreciate options. One major criticism is the lack of an Oxford comma.

I really loved Suite: Judy Blue Eyes and Helplessly Hopeless. Special songs. The rest of the album was a bit of a wash for me. 5/10

I can picture this record in my mom's collection. I was a big fan of Marrakesh Express when I was 7 or 8. Stills's bass playing is better than I remember. Stills's current wife is from Maine and her mom taught our daughter ice skating. All that said, those harmonies, although we'll done, get on my nerves.

I once loved this. So much. Can barely listen to it now.

To be honest, I've never been a fan. Too hippy dippy for me. Certainly they're are great musicians and great at harmonizing, but I find them irritating. I can't deny their influence though.

Big snooze. Lacks oomph. I have always liked Helplessly Hoping, though.

Fold rock folk rock

lady of the island is a gorgeous track

hørte ikke hele ass

fint dette men jeg vil egentlig bare høre zara larsson sykt hvor mye beatles påvirket musikk høydepunkt: lady of the night og da han sier six seven i wooden ships

Yet another band I know the name of but not the music. Very lightweight so far, quite melodic. Not bad, but more background noise for me than anything else - and I have a lot better albums that can do that for me. Was absolutely fine, but not a band I’m bothered to listen to again.

Nice

I'm liking this one - it's getting a 3

Bin ja großer CSN-Fan (waren in meinen top 10 letztes jahr und Hauptschuld an meinem musikalischen Alter), das Cover ist epic aber da wurde mal wieder das falsche Album ausgewählt. Die ganzen guten Lieder sind auf "Déja Vu" (Aua House, 420, Helpless, Carry on...). Mit "Marrakesh Express" geht das Problem schon los: C, S und N klingen auf diesem Album identisch. Das hat dann kombiniert mit Dudelgitarre einen schlumpfartigen Effekt, den ich keine 50min aushalte, vor allem, weil ich gerade kaum Drogen genommen habe. Ich kann bildlich die Schlümpfe sehen, wie sie fröhlich aus ihren Häusern hüpfen und in Endlosschleife "Marrakesh Express" singen (meine Vision der Hölle). Guinnivère ist dann schon eher der mir entsprechende Sound: Viel Instrumental und stilistisch weiter von Paul Simon entfernt. Nur 95% closed harmonies im Gesangsanteil. You don't have to cry ist das perfekte Abbild des Albums: Allein genommen ein guter Song aber trotz 2:42 zu lang, zu repetitiv, zu viel 60er Gedudel, um sich das 52min geben zu können. Danach bin ich glaube ich eingeschlafen. Höhepunkt des Albums: Wooden Ships, Helplessly Hoping. Danach nochmal 30min rumgedudel. Das Konzept Supergroup "hört mal wie krass wir singen können" trägt leider nicht sehr weit. Deshalb ist CSN&Y auch eine gute Idee, weil Y das Schlumpfhausige disrupted. America hatte ein ähnliches Konzept, dabei aber mit Songwriting, das eher in die Zeit passt. Irgendwo bei "Bye, bye, baby" habe ich aufgegeben.

Ganz nett anzuhören aber für meinen Geschmack dann doch zu eintönig und damit einschläfernd. Harmoniegesänge nicht schlecht.

Pleasant, nice harmonies, nostalgic, feels like fading into a dream about life on a lazy Saturday afternoon. 3.4/5.

Heureusement que j’ai eu le week-end pour pouvoir tout écouter... j’avoue que ma première impression n’était pas très bonne. Je les connaissais déjà et ne savais à quoi m’attendre mais un peu déçu du mix des sons avec plusieurs éléments (batterie, etc). Malgré ça, j’ai bien apprécié. C’est un mood si particulier d’avoir de tels harmonisations vocales avec une simple gratte pour accompagner. J’ai l’impression de ressentir une petite brise fraîche sur le visage en regardant une immense vallée sous mes yeux (américaine surtout, genre au Wyoming). Je retiens surtout Helplessly Hoping (c’est quoi ce nom) qui donne littéralement une sensation de nostalgie d’une époque qu’on a pas vécu. Même si ma note va être moyenne, j’ai envie de l’écouter à nouveau, dans de meilleurs conditions. Ps : Sans Young c’est bien aussi.

Good, but really needs Neil Young to just top it off. Liked the cover of Everybody's Talkin'.

c'etait pas mal mais rien de fou non plus

Loved few songs and 'Lady of the island' was the best song of the album imo

belle vibes, musica chill da sottofondo. al primo ascolto non ho trovato niente di nuovo, però mi piace

I liked Song With No Words, but it's not my cup of tea

3 från mig. Mysigt, trevligt, helt ok. 2 från pappa, ganska ointressant

Some classic memorable songs. Maybe I was not in the mood but after awhile the harmonizing started to annoy me.

A little Muzak, but good for a chill walk

There's a wonderful nostalgia to the music and a calmness to their voices.

Nice but too long.

Very sumery, never heard about this band or this album so it was fun to listen to!

Needs more variety in song styles. Album comes alive when it mixes up in the second half. I will admit the tracking of the vocal harmonies doesn’t sit with me for some reason and becomes grating at times, but I know people love CSN for that reason, so to each their own.

3,5/5

Classic tunes

Love country folk as always

Not unpleasant but not super good either.

A couple really good tracks

Weirdly, I kinda liked this one

I enjoyed this album. Looking at it in context, though, The Beatles, Bob Dylan, Simon & Garfunkel, and other artists in similar lanes had already released multiple legendary albums (that I personally prefer) by 1969. I even tried to give it the benefit of the doubt on maybe pioneering folk rock, but I double checked, and Dylan was already well into his electric era when this album dropped. It would have had to blow me away to get a very high rating, and unfortunately, it did not. So although I enjoyed my first listen, it's no surprise that I hadn't been turned onto it sooner, and I probably won't be revisiting it anytime soon. Sorry CSN fans, but they were kind of sitting on the laps of giants here. Strong 3.

I liked Song With No Words and Guinnevere, the rest of the album was a little generic but still pretty chill. Wouldn’t mind putting this on for a lazy afternoon kind of vibe, but probably won’t go out of my way to listen to it repeatedly. 6/10, 3 stars.

Started hot, lost a bit of momentum but enjoyed it overall. Judy Blue Eyes is awesome. Was sitting back enjoying it not realizing it was the DOO DOO DOO DOO DOO song, goes so hard.

Not typically my favorite genre, but this is a pretty good listen. Some great harmonies.

Talented musicians hanging out

Suite: Judy Blue Eyes ❤️

Mítico disco, pero tampoco una locura

This is ok. The harmonies are actually quite good. I probably would never choose to put this on though 🤷‍♂️

Good vibes only. Good for a chill sesh.

Bought this a while ago, only played it twice or thrice, I can see why. Feels very over harmonised and twee in places.

Ridiculously good if overused harmonies throughout. I love the vocals on Guinevere, but Wooden Ships probably my favourite. I’m sure John Squires listened to this as well as Zeppelin before writing TSC. Gets a bit insipid in places, too nice, too hippy for my taste. I probably need to smoke more weed, turn vegetarian and explore environmental issues to get the full effect. A very strong 3. Not quite a 4.

Groovy and enjoyable but not sure what’s so special about this…

You can’t really go wrong with Crosby, Stills & Nash. Great album, but a bit more chill than I am drawn to for regular listening.

Eh. It’s okay. A lot of the songs just kind of sound the same. I can hear some Beatles influence in there, so that’s interesting. But aside from that, nothing notable for me.

It's okay. A lot of the later tracks sound too same-y. I didn't really like the sombre tracks, which there weren't that many of, thankfully. Favourite Track(s): Suite: Judy Blue Eyes, Marrakesh Express, Wooden Ships Least Favourite Track(s): You Don't Have To Cry, Lady of the Island

This album marks a shift in popular music, reflecting the maturing audience of more experimental 60s rock to something more grounded.

2/3. Some really great songs on here, Marakesh Express and Wooden Ships immediately stood out to me. Their voices are great together, the guitar playing all over the album is great, and I definitely think this is an album that rewards being listened to over and over. There were a few tracks that just didn't grab me, and I found myself wondering when they'd be over.

Bit basic Nice harmonies Nothing special Some good moments

The average rating of 3.5 feels right to me. It's pretty good stuff, and they clearly have some songwriting chops between them, but it is slightly dull/tame

Didn't move me, sounded pleasant enough, I guess it's another grower?

I decided to give this another listen since it didn't really stand out to me the first time; it grew on me a tad. I think the people saying every song sounds the same are just hearing the harmonies, because the songs definitely sound different

Me gustó, me dio vibes de los Beatles

This one will require a relisten, but I think I liked most of it.

Das Debütalbum glänzt mit makellosen Harmonien und Klassikern wie „Suite: Judy Blue Eyes“. Doch trotz musikalischer Finesse fehlt es manchen Songs an Tiefe und Spannung. Ein stilistisch vielseitiges, aber nicht durchgehend packendes Werk – solide, aber nicht überragend.

enjoyed, easy to listen to.

I love harmonies

The start of the California sound - a true supergroup - they just weren’t that prolific. Harmony singing of great invention

Kind of mixed on this one. Quite a few songs I enjoyed more than I ever did while listening to the songs driving around in the back seat as a kid. Some of the tracks like "Marrakesh Express", "Guinnevere", and "Lady of the Island" just faded into background noise...did not care for them at all. Amazing harmonies.

6/10

Liked this album, a few songs I’d heard, beautiful harmonies- and new songs discovered 🎁

Älskar dessa gubbar. Mys och vackert, men hann tyvärr ej lyssna tillräckligt koncentrerat för att göra det rättvisa, är känslan.

så gulligt när män sjunger i grupp på det där viset 🥹

Vägen kallar mig. Röde "Bilbo Baggins" Orm Bertilsson har varit stilla för länge. Låt mig vara en refugee of the road som Joni Mitchell sjunger och gömma mina roaches som C, S & N. Men når inte riktigt, riktigt upp till Joni när det kommer till "på resande fot- musik. Kanske en helt värdelös jämförelse, men som sagt: ge mig stämsång och gitarr och det ska my let till för att jag inte ska bli en frånvarande pappa. Någonstans där ute, en Coyote Åberg som lärt sig alla stämmor i Helplessly hoping.

Nice harmonies and overall playable. It has the rock sound but not its energie. I get neither the feeling nor the importance of this album.

Some real gems…and a few sleepers.

Wow I didn't know they were that early huh. 1969

Pretty good Classic Rock album

wish i could give it 3.5 stars, enjoyable enough to listen to

Good music by a great, classic supergroup.

I like the instrumentals but I just wouldn’t relisten any time soon

The first album by one of the first super-groups. The first thing that manages to stand out to me is the lovely vocal harmonies, it sounds quite Beatles-esque. I've gotten a lot of folk albums recently so my lack of enthusiasm might stem from that. Highlight Song/s: Guinnevere

Fun fact: CSN also stands for College of Southern Nevada 👍

Side A sounds like a band trying to be more Simon and Garfunkel than S&G. They succeeded, but S&G themselves are the right amount of S&G. Side B is more psychedelic. It has some good ideas, but overall it sounds old rather than classic. Favorite song: Marrakesh Express.

I never gave this album a chance, and I'm glad I finally did. Is it great? No. Did it absolutely change my life like some albums I've heard? No. Is it a fun, pleasant album that I'll put on my Background Music playlist and nod along to when it comes up? Absolutely.

Very harmonic vocals and a mix between folk and rock

A good folk album! Easy listening but nothing that I was blown away by. Maybe they really need Young

Solid folk album. Good for a roadtrip or a night around a campfire

Helplessly hoping really kept this from being a 2. I enjoy CSN, but it kinda gets a tad boring after a while. Young is really the secret sauce that made deja vu great.

I thought I would hate this. Im glad I have now listed to one album of these guys. I cannot promise I will still feel so amicable towards them by the end of this list.

Schöne Stimmung, gefällt mir echt gut ohne das musikalisch all zu große Highlights aufkommen.

War ganz ok. Aber mir doch etwas zu eintönig.

Ist mir auf jeden Fall zu ruhig. Scheint aber unterm Strich ganz gut zu sein.

Gefällt mir ganz gut. Kann mir gut vorstellen, das an Winterabenden häufiger zu hören.

Some songs were really good but others are unbearably twee and corny (almost flight of the concords-esque but without being funny).

Well, let me first add I'm not a fan of Neil Young, but this album without him, sounds just bland. Trippy hippy sweet summer west coast folk, well performed, nice harmonies, but it's missing the bite that "Deja Vu" had. To sweet to me. 3/5

Solid 70s rock album. Enjoyed it quite a bit.

The musicianship on these songs are really good. It was so lowkey but they are all incredible at their instrument. The bass player especially kicks ass.

I liked Pre-Road Downs. That’s the only song that was a vibe for me. The rest was bleh for me.

This is the ceiling of “amazing composition, but not for me.” Fantastic and interesting music, but it’s just from an era that I am not from. If the outro scene from The Graduate was an album, it would be this album.

Very sweet and pleasant but not EXCELLENT.

My parents has this vinyl when I was a kid and I spun it in HS and college. Great harmonies and that classic CSN.

Vamos hoy viernes con una banda histórica que por histórica me ha quedado en el archivo. Hippie a morir, es ideal para amenizar una mañana, preferentemente fresca. Buen finde y hasta el lunes

3/5

nicely executed but id rather be listening to the beatles or simon and garfunkel

I liked some of this, namely Hoplessly Hoping, Teach Your Children, and the guitar solos on Wooden Ships… which probably made you DISGUSTED. But generally I just don’t like the way this era sounds

Good album, some classic songs on here. Feels like there's some filler in the middle but it was enjoyable.

I definitely thought this was a Black trio from the 1950s. I particularly enjoyed “A Song With No Words”.

feel like i get a *lot* of Laurel Canyon albums on this list. this one's a good one. not mindblowing but i do like the songwriting and playing. fits into the late 60s scene quite well. deserves to be one of the 1001? well at least this one probably does

In that moment in time that album was fire, I’m sure.

3 out of 5. Helplessly Hoping is the standout song for me.

Good. Nice soft rock.

Nice 👍 one

Calm and chill album with nice harmonies. Slightly boring, though

Standouts Judy Blue Eyes Long Time Gone

It was nice listening to this. Comfortable.

++ "Long Time Gone" e "49 Bye Byes" terminam o álbum em forma ascendente, que até aqui não me tinha dito muito. Talvez haja algo mais interessante a explorar, deste grupo?

It was nice, but a bit underwhelming for what is essentially a supergroup.

Im generally not a fan of American folk and folk-oriented rock so I’ve always been just ok on CSN. Listening to a full album was interesting. The harmonizing, which is their signature, seemed forced at times. Hits and misses across the album. Stephen Stills is a great musician and I appreciated more exposure to that. A better experience than I expected overall, tbh, but still not my bag personally.

Great harmonies, a lot of the songs felt very similar and I didn’t love all of the songwriting

Gelassen und süss

I appreciate the musicianship of Crosby, Stills & Nash. I found most of the melodies enjoyable and the songwriting to be interesting. However, the vocals and harmonies sound exceptionally dated. That’s not necessarily a bad thing, but I also don’t really care for the vocals and harmonies very much. I’m not going to say they are bad because they aren’t, but they don’t mesh with my taste. I am generally not a fan of folk rock. It feels a bit like I needed to be there to get it. I am curious to see how the addition of Neil Young plays out once I get assigned the Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young album. This is really a 2.5, rounded up to a 3 for the supergroup’s sake.

I had very low expectations for this album. Not because the artist is bad but because the cover was boring and underwhelming combined with the fact that I didn’t know any of their music and their name makes them sound like a country band. The good news is that they are not a country act. But sadly they are also not far enough away from being a country act. Most of the album is slower songs that didn’t really click with me. I will say however that what blew me away about this album is that there are some touches of like psychedelic rock, which were not only welcome changes to the sound but also stellar music. Like the three songs that I liked (marrakesh express, pre-road downs, and wooden ships) were all legitimate psychedelic bangers. I just wish there was more of that, specifically, on the album. Still great craftsmanship though, even on songs that I didn’t care for, they typically on all the songs have crazy good guitar playing. So this album definitely belongs on this list but it’s just kinda not entirely for me, has some highlights I like but you will probably like this more than me.

I've never really bothered with 'Crosby, Stills and Nash' and coming into this album I wondered whether that was a mistake. It seems not. It isn't unpleasant. I'm grateful Neil Young isn't present. It is 'Simon & Garfunkel like' but without the gentle humour, or occasional hard edge that S&G bring to their songs. It is all quite 'pleasant', gentle and very much of its time. I think it has aged badly. If you're a fan of late-60s folk rock, this is probably fantastic. I'm not, so it will get a middling 3/5 from me.

This is bizarre, but I weirdly kinda liked this? At least a few songs got my attention. Unfortunately most of it just isn't really my jam, but still, surprised!

Had a good time with this, pretty chill/what I expected.

Some good stuff

Throughout this entire endeavour I've been a bit underwhelmed by CSN(Y), and drawn more to their solo work. This didn't really change my mind, but perfectly pleasant listen.

Carino ma nulla di che.

mellow. folky. harmony. chill.

So versatile, this album is going all kinds of places

It's alright

These guys can't do shit without Young.

5/10

An interesting album, a present and chill listening 3/5

I liked the songs I already knew. The ones I didn't know weren't bad either

Its good stuff.

this one's alright. it's got some tunes, that are not complete dogshit, there's some vibes that are not pure trash. decent background music, especially if you don't understand english.

Jolly but too high-pitched for my taste.

Ok, Boomer. It's fine. A bit samey at times.

beatlecore very good vibes tbh

I had high hopes for this one, but jt was just OK

Good folky guitars. Nice and chill.

There is a magic to CSN’s harmonies. Somehow - their voices are all very different but they blend in a truly unique way. These guys did not invent harmony, but..... the second you hear them sing you know instantly who it is. "Suite: Judy Blue Eyes" is an amazing song, and has to be somewhere in the conversation of best album openers. The rest of the album doesn't quite reach that level for me. Probably because they overuse their tight harmonies so much. Anyways. It isn't really my bag, but it is a remarkable record with some incredible songs. I can absolutely see someone who’s never dipped their toe in these waters giving this a listen and it becoming their favorite record. THREE STARS

Solid

It has some incredible highs but some song just feel like filler.

A bit too hippy dippy for me. I always thought they were better when Neil Young came along & showed them all how to rock. Can’t deny the magic of the harmonies though.

weird. i love fleetwood mac's take on the california sound and pretty much no one else's

mantenho minha opinião original sobre a presença desses 3 camaradas em música não é ruim de forma alguma, mas eu acho meio chato demais pro meu gosto

ah, eh até de boa. bacana, tem umas guitarrinha boa, galera sabia o que tava fazendo. porém, falta um neil young aqui. o outro era mais legal...

Lots of harmony

A classic for a reason. Not my first rodeo with this one.

Reminds me of my dad. Much worse than with the addition of Young. Harmonies are still nice. David Crosby is clearly the worst. Lots of the lyrics are embarrassing. Guinevere is annoying and bad. Helplessly Hoping is the stand out. A lot of the weaker points sounds like worse Simon and Garfunkel

Classic album. Maybe it's because I've heard plenty of CSN, but as good as the album is it doesn't do a lot for me anymore; it's pleasant to listen to, but doesn't evoke a deep desire to tune in and enjoy.

Listenable enough, their harmonies are always good and just the thing for an early morning listen.

Best Track - "Helplessly Hoping"

a classic folk album

7.4

Not life changing, but definitely some nice moments.

Well aware of these guys, where's Young? Listened once this morning, and it's not bad at all, several songs stuck out at first a bit like "Helplessly Hoping" and "Long Time Gone". But so far seems like fairly average, above average folk rock, really reminds me of Neil Young's 70s albums even though, funnily enough, he has not joined this group at this point in time. All in all I am thinking this is good but not overly great, quite easily 3.5/5.0 but I will round down to 3 stars.

Ok behageligt. Helplessly hoping og sidste nummer var go'e

Slow jazz good for cafes not my style though

This gives me The Beach Boys leave the beach and head to a cult in the woods. It's well done musically, but it doesn't make me want to listen to get it again. It does make me want granola though on a parfait.

Very Simon and Garfunkel as noted, with a great tracks showcasing the harmonies that, I believe, they were famous for. Was a bit twee/whimsical in parts and their cover of Everybody's talking can't hold a candle to Nilsson's- but a little research showed it was released the same year so guess it was bad timing. Looking forward to abit more of the political stuff and Neil Young getting involved.

As i age,i see myself liking more and more and appreciating folk rock especially from that late 60's-70's era. It's this warmth.. This playlist really opens and expands my ears(that i thought there were already there). With that said i really enjoyed this album. Favourite songs: Carried away, Cathedral(has unexpected swifts and a fantastic atmosphere my top favourite), Dark star it's just magical and hypnotic with amazing keys and bongos, Just a song before i go instantly got me with it's amazing lyrics and last song of the album I Give You Give Blind not only slows down but it's fluid with great messages and energy! it's a 3 stars for me cause at times it is too slow for me and the way one of the lead singers sings in some songs really ruins the atmosphere.

Can't distinguish between individual songs. Individually soothing but gets kinda samey by song three or four. Did not finish.

Technically good, but not really great in any way.

3 1/2. I think I will like it more once I hear it a few times.

Classic!

only because I want to give a 3.5

Good for the three main singles (suite judy blue eyes, helplessly hoping and wooden ships). Otherwise, feels a bit too much like Simon and Garfunkel . Also teach the children is a better song with Young also accompanying.

I can really only handle so much CSN and then it’s time for not CSN

"Suite Judy Blue Eyes" is a classic. "Wooden Ship" though? Lowkey might be the best song on the album. The rest was decent folk rock.

Wenn man solche Musik mag, bestimmt gut. Ist nichts für mich, aber in Ordnung. Wenigstens war Neil Young nicht dabei.

Fine, more dudes on guitars today, fun music but ready for something new

It was okay, kinda soothing

soulful and sweet but i still don't get the hype behind david crosby

definitely a mellow 60’s vibe (love a tasteful rock organ). don’t hate it but need to be in the right mood for it. looked up their official instagram profile and they have 583 followers LMFAO. favorite song: wooden ships

Crosby, Stills & Nash has a name more like a law firm than any other band I know. Unrelated: this album is pretty good. There’s a mix of great folk rock songs, and some I just don’t really care about. Suite: Judy Blue Eyes, Guinnevere, You Don’t Have To Cry, Wooden Ships, and Helplessly Hoping are all pretty excellent songs. Marrakech Express is fine, but it gets a little grating. Pre-Road Downs has some cool psych stuff, but isn’t a highlight either. And a lot of the rest is just kind of whatever to me. But I am glad I heard this in general.

nice harmony misses Mr Young's grunge on some tracks

Where. Tf is neil

Those harmonies are ridiculous

An average ending to an average week. I didn't receive a single 4-star or higher album. "Self-Titled" has some good moments, like the first song. The fact that there are 3 famous, talented musicians on this album is fantastic. I hope I get a better week this time. 3 stars for "Self-Titled".

Ett album som växer på mig ju mer jag lyssnar på det! Och som belönar aktiv lyssning. Har lite svårt för den här erans "California-sound", då främst all stämsång, men ju noggrannare jag lyssnar på själva musiken, själva hantverket, desto mer uppskattar jag varje enskild låt. 'Suite: Judy Blue Eyes' beskrivs ju som ett mästerverk, men är i ärlighetens namn lite trist. Den byte skepnad fyra gånger, men kommer aldrig riktigt igång. Kanske behöver den ännu noggrannare lyssning. Hitmässigt är istället 'Helplessly Hoping' en otroligt vacker liten låt. 'Wooden Ships' är fantastisk, speciellt andra delen med sina mjuka gitarrsolon mellan varje vers. Fastnar även för 'Guinnevere', som har ett lite mystiskt och suggestivt sound, den sticker ut på det sättet. Betyget hamnar så nära en fyra man kan komma! Bästa låt: Helplessly Hoping

Not my type of music. That said, I enjoyed listening to it. ★★★

Слухали сольне, тепер спільний альбом. А далі ще мабуть буде КСН енд Янг. Не знаю, це класика, не можна сказати що тут щось не так. Але я таке майже не слухаю, тому суб'єктивно вище 3 поставити не можу.

CSN are always an enigma to me. To me they represent the transition period from the folk-rock era into the yacht-rock era. As a result, they can be a little bit hard to read. This album leans heavily in the folksy direction. There's some decent folk tunes on this one, but the ones that lean more into classic rock vibes are my favorites here. Pre-Roads Downs, and Wooden Ships were my favorites after the first listen.

That was... alright, I guess. Not great. The "Song with No Words" absolutely should have had words - that was ridiculous and I never want to hear it again.

i liked it but not really my entire vibe

Mange i starten var rigtig gode. Sangen uden ord var nok min yndlings. Lyttede det igennem to gange, kunne rigtig godt lide det anden gang, men der er lidt nogle meh sange i midten. Men smule for langt.

This album reminds me why Neil Young is my favorite of this act and its associated spinoffs. They really miss his grit. Of course, their harmonies are amazing, but there is a certain rawness missing without young. A lot of these songs are popular classic rock fair, and for a reason.

Marakesh express was my favourite song off the album but wouldn’t listen to it again

Its fine, some tracks are lovely others are sent me to sleep because they were boring

Recognized a few songs, still better than with young. But a lot of them sounded samie which is fine but I was hoping for a little more variation on the songs

I thought we had some sort of Crosby et al. album already, but it was actually Buffalo Springfield, which contains Neil Young, who is sometimes one of Crosby et al. Forget the Beatles movies, I need a CSN(Y)+BS primer. Except I don't want one because this album is boring. I did always think "Suite: Judy Blue Eyes" was a novel kind of song title; you don't get a lot of colons in popular music. I'm sure I've heard the song before (I think it's on one of those Billboard albums?) but it clearly didn't stick with me. The best part is definitely the do-do-do-do-dos at the end. It seems to me that Morocco (and Northern Africa in general) is way more prevalent in the pop culture of the 60s than it is now. What's up with that? Maybe I should read a history book instead of the Crosby et al. wiki compendium. Did you know Nash was in the Hollies?? We're in a deeply tangled web here. And Crosby was in the Byrds. Wow wow wow. I'm really sleepy and 'Guinnevere' is not helping. The best part is definitely the do-do-do-do-dos in the middle. This one sounds a little like Simon and Garfunkel. Maybe that's Crosby's vibe. My assessment is that Stills is my least favorite singer. And I think Crosby is my favorite. But also if you asked me to tell the three apart I would have no idea. I didn't really enjoy this album; it was very sleepy, but I didn't quite dislike it either, so I guess it scrapes a 3. Highlight: 'Teach Your Children' (me: hm, where do I know this from? wiki: "In 1985, the song was used with modified lyrics in a TV commercial promoting schools' use of the Apple II family of personal computers" me: aha, so it was)

Highlights: Suite: Judy Blue Eyes, You Don't Have to Cry, Wooden Ships. In a nutshell: where it all began. Soft and melodic folk, rock and blues. I got lost in the guitar solos a few times (top notch work there). Overall: 5/10

chill folk rock

A classic, but didn’t capture me on this listen.

Not quite as good without the Y, but still a comfort fit harmony-fest. The “hey girl be my lady” stuff makes you realize they were essentially a boy band. A boy band in willowy man-blouses with too much sitar, but a boy band nonetheless.
